Todd Lipcon commented on HBASE-5311:
------------------------------------
The latter -- the whole memstore would be "layered", I think -- it's basically
like we do with "snapshot" right now, except that there are multiple layers of
"snapshot" and we have a trickier way of doing it without locks.
> Allow inmemory Memstore compactions

> Just like we periodically compact the StoreFiles we should also periodically
> compact the MemStore.
> During these compactions we eliminate deleted cells, expired cells, cells to
> removed because of version count, etc, before we even do a memstore flush.
> Besides the optimization that we could get from this, it should also allow us
> to remove the special handling of ICV, Increment, and Append (all of which
> use upsert logic to avoid accumulating excessive cells in the Memstore).
> Not targeting this.
